hey I'm new to the gay community, both online and off. I'm really shy and still in the closet to my friends and family, but i want to branch out and meet new people. I've only been on here a couple days now but i can already tell that this is a site full of wonderful people, so if anyone has suggestions on how i can branch out they would be very much appreciated. and I'm not sure if this is important but I am in the green bay, wi area

Hey welcome to GBT! This site is sooo much more than a gay porn site. (but the porn helps...phappity phap....lol) Count me in as a new friend and supporter. :) Our GBT social community is awesome and u will find much acceptance, love, and support from many guys of all ages here. The ppl here are rich with varying experiences and many who share the same situation as urs. Make some friends and take ur time getting to know them. As u do...u will find ur shyness melting away and the wisdom of the wonderful ppl here will help u on how to move forward. Some of the best friendships have been made here and I'm sure u will find many. (((hugs))) :Dennis

A couple suggestions ... first, refuse to meet anyone until you spend some time talking to them online and get a feel for their character. Avoid anyone who wants a "quick hookup" without giving you a sense as to the type of person they are, and if they are aware of your likes/dislikes. Last thing you want, is to arrange a public meeting, get there, and find out the guy is some aggressive jerk who just wants you to quickly suck him in the back alley, and then vanishes. Secondly, never agree on a first meeting in a non-public place (like the guy's home/apartment). Tell him to meet you in a coffee shop
or fast food so that if he's not been honest with you (about age, appearance, or personality), you'll find out in a public place and can drop him .. and leave .. without him going nasty on you. You might get a person or two, who lies about themselves in order to set up a meeting. Don't be unpleasant, just tell them you changed your mind, and thank them for coming by.

A good starter is to put a profile pic in your profile. desnt have to be you (my pic doesnt show me for example) but it helps to recognize yourself to other users and get in contact more easy. discussions in a blog can lead into a friendship on here.

Welcome to the site, I am new here to and from Canada. Don't be worried man I am similar to you, most of the people I know don't know I am gay and I am scared to say anything since I joked with people about it and the first thing they say are nasty things that really hurt my feelings. I am also shy to and dislike change so if your looking for a friend I am here.

Every community has a gay community. It's always easy to find if you take the time to look. There you will find people who will readily accept you just for who you are and welcome you. There you can be among people just like yourself without fear or the judgment of others. There you can spread your wings and fly.

Welcome. I think once upon a time many of us were shy and 20 and not out. Look around and like canadaman says, if you see someone you want to know. Write on their wall or drop them a note. You will find most folks here very friendly and willing to listen and support you.

Welcome to the site from a Canadian neighbor ! Nothing wrong with being either shy, or in the closet. You'll find a number of nice people on this site, so enjoy, and don't be hesitant to send off a few private messages if you see people on here you think you'd like to chat with.
